About a month ago, Dr. Okrand gave a talk at the Kopikon conlang conference. There's a recording of his talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P18XaCNXCmI&t=27636s

Of particular interest is that he translated the name of the board game "Monopoly" into Klingon in case it was ever needed, though it ended up not being used. His translation was {ghatlhchu'ghach} "absolute dominance".

It’s good to have an actual name for the game now. I had been (intentionally overliterally) referring to it as {wa'law'} as a joke. It’s understandable why they wouldn’t use that as the name on the box, for brand recognition, but they could have still used it as a smaller secondary title and/or in the instructions.

You can see him talking about it at the 8:11:25 mark in the above video.
